QREAT EXOITEMENI IST ALF3 '. Dout a marvellous* cure Tiviug Six: Years Without Going To Bed. MB. EDITOR, — While spending a few daya at tho pleasant seaside town of Aborystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what scorned to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. The story wag that a pt >r sufferer who had not beon abla to lie down in bod for six long years, tjiven up to die by all the Doctora, hed beon speedily oured by some Patent Blediciae. - It was rolatad with the more implioit oonfi- ! denoo from the oirouinstanoe, as wag said, . • that the Vior- of Llamystyd wag familiar F 1 v/ith the f*ct3, and could vouch for the truth . of ths voport. 7 Ilceing a liitle curiosity to know how suoh 7 stories grow in travelling, I took tho Hberty 6 whilo at tho village of L!nnrystyd y ~> call npoa 3 the Vicar tho iiov. T. Evans, aud to eaqraro 3 "ibjufc this wonderful cure. Though a total . stranger to hian, both ho and his wifo most t graciously entortained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touching the cage of Mr. Pugh, in which they seemed to take a t deep and sympathetic interest, having baen , familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced t in what seemed to them a most remarkable r euro. ? The VioF' romarked that he pre3um.6d his $ nnmo had boon conneoted with the roport . irom hia having mentioned the case to Mr, I John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon, Me said j Mr- Pugh was formerly a resident of their . paiieh. but was now living in the parish of i Llanddoinol. i He strongly voaohed Bfr. Wm. Pagh's i t character as a respeotable farmer and worthy 3 of credit. I loft the venerable Vicar with s i livelier sense of ihe happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he waaona who truly - sympathised with all who are afflicted in mind, r body, and estate. 1 On my return to Aberystwith, I was iml pressed with a desire to see Mr. Pugh, whose i. reputation stood so high. His farm is callad r I'ancom-Mawr, signifying '• above tha dingle," i t situated near the sammit of a smooth round i \ hill, overlooking a baautif al valley in whioh 9 is situated the lovely ivy-mantle 1 Church of 0 Llanddoinol. I found Mr. Pugh, appareatly about 40 years old, of medium height, rather c slight, wit'i a pleasant and intelligent face. - I told him I had heard of his great affliction .. and'of his romarkablo and almost miraculous 3 relief, and that I had come to learn from his j own lips, what there was of truth in tho t reports. 1 Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours g had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in bis case fjr many years, bnt of lute their a interest had been groatly awakened by a . happy ohaugo in hia condition. What you „ report of having heard abroad, eaid ha, is . substantially . true, with one exception. I \ never understood tbat my case wbb ever given „ up as hopeless by any Physician. I have v beon treated by several Dooters hereabouts, i as good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no . prescription of theirs ever brought tho desirod B relief. f Fifteen years ago, he said, I first beoame . oonsoiouß of a sour and derangad etomaoh g and loss of appetite, whioh the Doctors told g me was Dyspepsia. What food I could hold B in my stomach seemed to do mo no good and was often thrown up with painful rotohings. I Thia was followed after a time with hoarsely ness and a raw soreness of the throat whioh t the Doctors called bronohitis, and I was treated 3 for that buJ with little success. Thon came i shortness of breath and a Benso of suff ooatiou. . especially nights, wLh clammy sweat, a*Ji i would have to go out of bed aad eomatimes open a door or window in whiter weather to . fill my lungs with the cold air. t About six years ago I beoama so bad that I 3 could not sleep in bed. bnt had to take my i unquiet rest and dreamy sloop sitting in an D armohair. My affliotion seemed to be workl ing downward into my bowels as well as n^- ! wards into my lungs and tkroat, Ia the B violent coughing spasms whioh grew more } frequent, my abdomen would expand and t collapse and at times it would seem that I j should suffocate. All thia time I was reduced } in strength so that I could perform no hard c labour and my spirits were consequently 1 much depressed. t Early in this last spring I hail a still more B severe spasmodic-attack, and my family and neighbours booamo alarmed, believing that f certainly I would not survive, when a neigua hour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith by tho i driver ot the Omnibus Post, some seven miioß 4 distand, and fetched a bottle of Mother r ; ; eigoJ'a Curative Syrup, a This medicine they administrated to me . according to tbe direotiond, when to their suri prise and delight no less than my own, the r spasm ceased, I beoame at ease, and my , stomach calmed, My bowels were moved as t by a gentle cathartio, aud I felt a sense of r quiet comfort all through suoh as I had not before realized in many years I oon:d walk around tho house and breaths comfortably in a fow hours after I had taken the medicine. I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something ovor two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and havo not fliaco had areourrenoe of those terrible spasms and Bweatirgs. I have beon bo long broken down and reduced in my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very hard out-door labour, deeming it best to be prudent lest by over-exertion I may do myself injury before my strength ia fully restored , I feel that my stomaoh and bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medioino. In f aot j feel like a new man. I have been muoh congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Vicar of Llanryetyd, who with his sympathetic wifo have come threo miles to shed toars of joy on my recovery, I bade Mr. Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had foaad a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkftblo case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the publio, I beg to submit the above facts as they are related to mo. *M 2 h w bsp F, T. w. Keating's Powder. Keating's Powder.
